Army Family Team BuildingArmy Family Team Building Program prepares families for any situation. It helps everyone to function at a high level of self sufficiency in the time of separation. The AFTB classes provide participants with information to help understand the functions of the Army and the Soldier's role. AFTB also offers the tools to assist in improving the family well-being.

Exceptional Family Member ProgramExceptional Family Member Program is a mandatory enrollment program based on carefully defined rules. An Exceptional Family Member is a dependent, regardless of age, who requires medical services for a chronic condition; receives ongoing services from a specialist, has mental health concerns/ social problems/ psychological needs, receives education services provided on an Individual Education Program (IEP), or a family member receiving education services provided on an Individual Family Service Plan(IFSP). EFMP works with other military and civilian agencies to provide comprehensive and coordinated medical, educational, housing, community support and personnel services to families with special needs. This program is designed to assist your personal offices in making assignments for you, as often as possible accompanied by family members.

Army Family Action PlanArmy Family Action Plan is input from the people of the Army to Army leadership. It's a process that lets Soldiers and families say what is working and what is not, and what they think will fix it. It alerts commanders and Army leaders to areas of concern that need their attention, and gives them the opportunity to quickly put plans into place to work toward resolving the issues. Most installations have an AFAP annually.

Family AdvocacyFamily Advocacy Program provides services to prevent intimate partner violence and child abuse by improving family functioning, easing the kinds of stress that can contribute to abusive behavior, and creating a community that is supportive of families. The prevention programs are designed to create community and command awareness of abuse, provide information of existing services, and provide specific educational programs.
